Friends in Life

Every one has friends in life. Well this is a general statement. My question would be do all have friends in life. Well the answer is complicated.

Let's see shall we... Who is a friend? A friend is a person who forms part of you and does things without any expectations. This being said another question may arise what if i don't want to be friends with that guy/gal. Again the answer is complex, a person chooses a friend on the basis of his character and the attitude towards others, these kind of friendship last for a long time, BUT i again quote this many, i mean many people use the word friend either as a security or as a financial gain or in order to get some work done from that person. These kinda friendship last for a good period of time and these kind of friendship seem to be the decorated ones and many seem to envy these kinda friendships.

People fail to see the important meaning of friendship, friendship is never about giving and taking, it more than that and the people fail to see them when it is close to them. The true worth of a person is know only when that person is not with you anymore. Yes, I had previously impliedly stated that a friend stays for life. But, then again you can't expect a friendship to last for ever if you are not being a true friend, you cannot expect it to stay for long in all circumstances.

Many may disagree to this point, and this is a point on which many have varying views.

It is a simple logic you can't expect to be respected by a friend if you don't respect him/her for the deeds done by them. A friend does not need an accreditation for doing an act but he/she does expect it to be notice after all even that person is an individual and it is the human tendency to make everyone notice. Again some people may pick to differ and say "No, not at all, I am not like that" I would say they are lying.

Let me illustrate it "a guy tells his friend about what he did, everyone praise him the guy who has done a similar deed is standing right beside him tells the people there what he has done and says it is childish to do good deeds and tell about it and you don't see him bragging about it" Here the other guy has indirectly told what he has done and tries to potray himself as someone different of the lot.

In schools and colleges these kinds of scenarios are common and they do bring a smile to one's face.

Friendship evolves as life goes on and people learn to differentiate between people in their life but I regret that in the current era people use the word friend so often that they forget the meaning of a friend and now they even have classification for friends more like ranking of friends Best friend, close friend, just friends and so on.

It is to be noted that a friend is a friend and you do not have the right to rank a friend ever, they are the best in their own right and no two friend can be compared with one another.
And friends are a very important part of your life and some people find them early in life and some people fail to identify them.
